Young Lions hold fundraiser for Camp Abilities

The Young Lions of West Chester held a fundraiser at the Sidebar Restaurant and raised more than $500 for a project conducted by Monica Lepore, a faculty member, along with students at West Chester University. The Camp Abilities project runs every Memorial Day weekend and is usually attended by about 25 youth who are all blind. The focus of the project is to empower these visually impaired youth and to demonstrate how they can participate in physical activities and healthy eating habits.

The West Chester Lions Club meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month for lunch at the West Chester Country Club.
